Paper Artsy Challenge Clare Lloyd–Faces Part 2

“I cannot draw,i cannot draw, i cannot draw” has been something i have been saying to myself for as long as i can remember. Clare Lloyd is the Guest Designer over at Paper Artsy this week and she did a little video to show us how to draw a face.

I drew along with the video because if i had watched it first the “i cannot draw” mantra would have been playing in my head, this way i had no idea what would happen, this is what happened.

My first whimsical face.

There is so much wrong with it but it is what it is. I didn’t have all the Fresco Paints that Clare used. Don’t have any basic pencils so used Inktense Pencils without adding any water, hence the odd colours on her cheeks. She really looks like she has a 10 o’clock shadow lol.

Clare used plain card to create a covering for the whimsical girl, so i did the same except i used a piece of mop up paper from spraying some Dylusions sprays. After i had cut out the shape stamped over the top with the bubble stamp from Paper Artsy stamp plate HP1010. Coloured the circles using Posca Pens.

I adore your quirky whimsey girl she is gorgeous and unique which for me is what whimsey is all about. She is interesting to look which is due to knowing look on her face the great background tag and clothing you gave her. A very good effort well done xxx

Drawing is - like so much in life - about confidence. I really hope after this very creditable creation, you will have enough confidence to throw away the old mantra and adopt a new one, 'I can draw'! Like Deborah says, you're whimsy girl is unique and that's what is important in any art. Julie Ann xx
